Description

1. Port Configuration: The switch comes with 48 Ethernet ports, which can provide both data connectivity and Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. This means that the switch can supply power to PoE-enabled devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras directly through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power adapters for these devices.
2. PoE+ Support: The “PD” in the model name stands for Power over Ethernet (PoE) and “S” stands for PoE+. PoE+ is an enhanced version of PoE that can deliver more power to connected devices, making it suitable for a wider range of power-hungry devices.
3. 10-Gigabit Uplink Ports: The switch is equipped with two 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for high-speed connectivity and uplink to other switches, routers, or servers in the network. These 10GB ports provide increased bandwidth and are suitable for data-intensive applications or connecting to other network backbone devices.
4. Scalability: The Catalyst 3750-E Series switches are stackable, meaning you can connect multiple switches together to form a single logical unit. This provides enhanced scalability and simplified management of a large number of network devices.
5. Advanced Features: The switch supports various advanced features commonly found in Cisco Catalyst switches, such as VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) for network segmentation, QoS (Quality of Service) for prioritizing specific types of traffic, and security features like Access Control Lists (ACLs) to control traffic flow based on predefined rules.
6. Management: The switch can be managed through a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) or through a command-line interface (CLI). Additionally, it supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for centralized network management and monitoring.
7. Reliability and Redundancy: The Cisco Catalyst switches are known for their robustness and reliability. They also support redundant power supply options and are designed for high availability in enterprise networks.

The Cisco WS-C3750E-48PD-S Catalyst switch is suitable for medium to large-sized businesses or organizations that require a combination of standard Ethernet ports and Power over Ethernet capabilities, along with high-speed 10-Gigabit uplink connections for handling data-intensive tasks and building resilient network infrastructures.
